Pantones Under the Sea

Always enjoy a good challenge and I found the one at Papertrey Ink intriguing for Make it Monday. I hadn't heard of the Pantone chip inspiration. You're supposed to take a single color chip and match the stamp color or decorative accents to that chip. I am fond of the color blue and fond of this whale stamp so I paired them up. I watercolored some cardstock and deliberately chose a spotty part for the whale because the whales I've been privileged to see on rare occasions have plenty of mottled color. Needed a few sequins, in my mind, for the sun reflecting off the water.

Thanks for looking. In case you come directly to this post and not the home page, I made another pantone chip inspired card using the peonies anniversary set with a pink chip, because...pink!

Welcome

Welcome to "Roses by my Window,” a place where I can share my creative journey and hopefully add a little beauty to the world. I love the Lord and love my family. I also knit and bake but here I’ll be sharing cards, trying new stamping techniques and attempting to improve even a wee bit each time I hit the craft table. Thanks for stopping to have a look!
